Stunning, fine and impressive antique 1.77 carat diamond, enamel and platinum horse and huntsman brooch; part of our diverse antique equestrian jewellery collections. This stunning, fine and impressive brooch has been crafted in platinum. The hexagonal framed brooch portrays a huntsman on horseback, jumping a fence. The horse is embellished with seventeen pavé set diamonds, in a combination of Old European and eight cuts. The three-dimensional rider is dressed in traditional fox hunting attire, incorporating a hot enamelled red hunting coat, white breeches and black boots and hat. The scene of the brooch incorporates a fence design embellished with thirteen channel set baguette cut diamonds, replicating the posts and rails. The stone wall and stylised foliated designs to one side are further ornamented with Old European, eight and square cut diamonds, in a combination of collet and pavé settings. This horse brooch secures to the reverse with a hallmarked 18ct white gold hinged pin and safety catch. The brooch is hallmarked to the pin with the 18ct mark (18) and the reverse of the setting with the platinum mark (Pt) and the maker's mark (A&W); the hallmark is struck to an applied plaque, indicating the high quality of the piece. This antique hunting brooch is supplied with an Idgl diamond grading report card. Such brooches featuring a full figure, straddling the horse with visibility from both sides, are becoming increasingly difficult to locate; this desirable three-dimensional design indicates the high quality of the piece. This enamel and diamond horse and huntsman brooch is a highly desirable and collectable design and can be considered a work of art in its own right. Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this fine example of hunting related jewellery/estate jewelry.
